Welcome!
I'm a shade tree mechanic who hadn't put a wrench to anything older than a '67 Impala I had in high school before I got my first stovebolt, a 1946 2 ton.
With the help of the experienced folks here, along with the many helpful links to vendors and free data resources, I managed to get my '46 running, driving, and stopping in no time.. and thats after it sat for close to 30 years in a cow pasture!
More recently, I bagged a 50 1/2 ton and combined with the previous information aquired from these pages, along with a few other questions, I had it running in less than a week.
The folks here are top notch, and can answer just about any question you throw at them (or know where to find it)
Welcome again, and be sure and post some pictures of your new ride, and keep us updated with your progress!
